Twenty Sided Dice

?

Siegel lost his way in an area shrouded in gray fog.

He knew that he was dreaming, but it was strange that magic could still be performed in a dream, so it was like a state of deep meditation.

Under his feet, the hard granite paved the ground, divided into neat pieces with golden stripes, just like the power tower of the Federation of Mages. He squatted down and stroked the ground with his hands. A slight numbness came from his fingers, as if he had touched the plasma lines of Nekos.

There was a gray fog all around, so it was impossible to see how far the ground could extend. It's pointless to measure the dream world with both feet, so Siegel points a finger, and a bright bolt of lightning shoots out into the distance. The fog spreads and gathers, and the lightning disappears.

He vividly remembers getting Isaac settled and going to bed early. He remembered the soft goose feather pillows, the snug lambs wool blankets, the smell of mosquito repellent incense burning around the pillows. If he felt it carefully, he could still vaguely feel the information from the real environment.

This dream is too dream-like, you can see through it at a glance, why does it still exist? Siegel became curious and wanted to know what was behind the gray fog and how this dream came about.

He raised his hand and mobilized the power of the Qi element. The whirlwind protruded, forming a wind wall around him, and all the dense fog was rolled up into the sky. Then he mobilized the power of the earth element to decompose fine dust from the ground and rise together with the dense fog. It didn't take long for the fog in the sky to condense and then fall down as rain.

Siegel chanted a spell to make the rainwater that fell on the ground continue to condense into the water element. The water element grows larger and higher, eventually rising to the height of a rain cloud. If it were not in a dream, such a spectacle would definitely not have occurred, and Siegel would not have endless elemental power to mobilize. He's got it. I feel that the water element giant is not balanced, and it is not the most perfect state.

He melted the granite on the ground with fire, turning it back into lava. Then try to incorporate it into the water giant. But the huge energy makes the water vapor, and the water element cannot maintain the stability of the shape. Constantly twisting in front of Siegel, it looks like it will collapse at any time.

The water element must also have enough energy to balance the power of the lava. Siegel raised his other hand and used the power of the air element to condense into lightning, turning the raining clouds into thunderclouds and slowly stuffing them into the water element.

Lightning combines with water to continuously produce flammable gas, thus crossing the critical step from water to fire. The four elements begin to adapt to each other. Energy exchange is formed from within. Water is the most adaptable element, and there is a saying that water is the source of life. In front of Siegel, the water element began to gradually break away from the category of summoned objects, and gradually could exist independently.

The change is slow, but time doesn't have much real meaning in the dream state. The aggregate of elements gradually shrank, but became more solid and stable, and eventually it became the same size as Siegel, but in addition to the head, body and limbs, there were four fluttering tentacles behind it.

Each tentacle represents an element.

Siegel stepped forward and examined the situation carefully. The four tentacles are very similar to the special ability of the conjuration specialization mage. That is, the spell is summoned in the form of an energy ball, and then used in a concentrated manner. It's just that the collective of elements goes a step further and materializes pure energy. Forms a ribbon that floats in the air.

When you touch the tentacle with your hand, you can't feel its weight at all. The four elements give the four tentacles different touches, but they are all very soft and docile. When the two ribbons intersect, a tiny amount of energy is generated from the contact, accompanied by a crisp sound of varying tones.

Casting a spell requires motion, sound, elemental energy, and casting materials. Aside from the material, the elemental tentacles seem to have everything else. Siegel was concentrating on this question, when the collective of elements suddenly turned his head and opened his eyes. Without the whites of his eyes, his eyes completely covered in black stared at Siegel.

Then the collective of elements showed a weird and twisted smile.

Siegel woke up suddenly. I felt my heart beating wildly and I was dripping with sweat. Breathing heavily. It was dark all around, and the candles and fireplace had been extinguished at some point. There is no moonlight outside. He felt restless and irritable, but he didn't know where that feeling came from. It should be long past the age of being awakened by nightmares, so why can't magic dispel dreams?

Yes, mages have spells, but they're just people. People will be hurt, and so will the mage. Unless it becomes an undead creature, various emotions, such as greed, longing, joy, and fear, will act on the mage as usual, and will not be changed by the existence of the spell.

He rolled out of bed and cast a spell to make the room light up again. Everything around is exactly the same as before falling asleep, except that the incense at the head of the bed has been extinguished, and the door to the balcony is half open.

The humid, sultry air blew in through the crack of the door, filled with the smell of rain, and it seemed that the whole sky would cry tomorrow. Siegel pushed open the door, walked to the balcony, and entered into the darkness, his mood gradually calmed down. Soldiers patrolling the city of Myr patrolled the city walls illuminated by torches, and the collision of weapons and armor made a clanging sound. The kitchen was already busy, and Siegel saw Aunt Pullen walking towards the bakery with a basket of crumbs, her clever black dog at her feet.

The moonlight was obscured by the thick clouds in the sky, so it was dim. It is said that such an environment is difficult for elven priests. Their divine power comes from the moon god, and naturally they are more abundant under the illumination of the moonlight. Many advanced spells, such as resurrection and holy aura, need to be cast during the full moon.

There was no one in the room, so Siegel felt more comfortable standing on the balcony. He couldn't help but think of the collection of elements in the dream. Can such a state be realized in reality? He still can't mobilize a large number of elements like in a dream, but he already knows how to achieve a balance between the four elements and form a stable interexistence structure, which is already a great progress.

It's not impossible to experiment to reproduce the dream. Can't the elemental surge of the elves greatly increase the concentration of the elements? It's just that he hasn't fully grasped the magic circle yet, and currently he can only draw the scoop according to the gourd, and he can't decompose it and only use the part he needs. The magic items required to arrange the entire array are of amazing value, and Heimling himself can never afford it.

He opened his palms, let the power of the four elements gather at his fingertips, and then fused and reorganized. due to insufficient energy support. Unable to form a stable cycle, the elemental aggregate only exists for a moment and then goes out, like sparks in a furnace. Siegel is not discouraged. Instead, he clenched his fists, he already understood how to go on the road of becoming a master teacher.

At this moment. The elemental rune magic circle in Myr City sensed the effect of teleportation magic and alerted Siegel. The target location of the teleportation was in the center of the courtyard downstairs. Because a mage can only teleport to the place he has been or can see, and no one can see the courtyard of the castle across the thick city wall, then the person who casts the teleportation must have come to the city of Myr.

Siegel waved, and the defensive staff flew from the bed into his hand. A red ball of light emerged from the top of the staff, and then shot a beam of light toward the center of the courtyard. The guards of the castle immediately noticed the change. The alarm bell on the city wall rang. Siegel cast a protective spell on himself, then focused on the changes in the courtyard.

A milky white beam of light appeared from the center of the courtyard, and two figures fell out. Siegel shouted and rushed over.

The half-elf mage Edith still had black smoke on his robe, and his pale golden hair was all charred. The embarrassed half-elf had obviously lost his strength, and he didn't even have the strength to put out the sparks on his body, but he still grabbed the wrist of the other person next to him with one hand. Janet opened her eyes, but stared blankly at the dark night sky, motionless.

In the red beam of light, Janet's lifeless face appeared before Siegel. The wizard touched her neck with trembling hands. But the only vibration I could feel came from my wrist. She had no heartbeat, no breathing, no sign that life was still alive.

Siegel took a sharp breath. He grabbed Edith's neck and roared, "What happened! Didn't you guarantee her safety!"

The half-elf coughed hard and tried to open his eyes, only then did Siegel realize that he was blind in one eye. The old man tried his best to squeeze a sentence out of his throat, "We were attacked, you put me down and let me speak slowly."

Siegel was breathing hard and short, but no air seemed to get into his lungs, and there was a constant feeling of choking. He tried his best. Only then did he let go of his hand and let Edith fall to the ground.

"We arrived in the Elven Forest. Druid Estelle received us and secretly took us to the Druid Forest. The preparation for the reincarnation went well. It just took Janet a long time to be fully mentally prepared. There is no moonlight tonight, the power of the Moon God is reduced, the power of the forest is relatively increased, and it is easier to hide from the priests of the Moon God Temple, so the reincarnation ceremony is scheduled for tonight."

The ceremony started smoothly, and Estelle also invited the other two Great Druids to cast spells together to ensure the success rate. We were attacked halfway through the ceremony.

The man in black who appeared out of nowhere suddenly appeared in the elf forest. They are armed with serpentine daggers that can easily pierce everyone's spell shields. They target the spellcaster and continue to inflict damage. I've seen druids fight them in beast form, only to hit shadows. The dagger plunged into the elf's heart, and death was unstoppable.

"I was determined to leave, so I broke into the ceremony site, but among the three great druids, only Estelle was still alive, and the other two had turned into cold corpses. A man in black was constantly stabbing a dagger with a dagger. Into his heart, knife after knife~www.readwn.com~ but the druid insisted on chanting the mantra until the very last moment of his life."

"Then I controlled the power of the elements and used lightning to pierce the heart of the man in black. But for some reason, some of the magic power bounced back, hit my eye, and brought fire to me. Siegel, it's not magic, It's a divine technique, and I clearly felt the energy fluctuations similar to the priest's holy power."

"I saw that the situation was not good, and I used the teleportation technique to leave before the men in black came up. But when I grabbed Janet's hand, I found that she had no signs of life. Siegel forgive me, I broke my promise. "

The soldiers from Heim's collar gathered around, and when they saw the scene in the courtyard, they lowered their weapons and took off their hats. There was a dull thunder in the sky, and then it was pouring rain, which hit the top of people's heads. The tears flowing on Siegel's face mixed with the rain from the sky, soaking his clothes and freezing his heart, and his whole body was shaking uncontrollably.

A thunderbolt suddenly illuminated, instantly covering the entire yard with a pale color. Siegel was startled and pulled Edith up again, almost nose to nose. His voice was still clearly reaching the half-elf's ears in the roar of the rain.

"When you left, was the reincarnation ceremony completed?!" (To be continued.)
